Mullen Says MSU’s Closer to Bama Than You Might Think

In his first game against Alabama, the Crimson Tide trounced Mississippi State 31-3 in Starkville. In his second matchup with Bama, the Bulldogs were crushed 30-10 in Tuscaloosa.

But Dan Mullen believes those games were closer than they might appear:

“Two years ago we dropped three passes that would have been touchdowns. I think last year we had four dropped passes. We moved the ball OK, but we gave up three 40- or 50-plus yard touchdowns last year. You take those three touchdowns away and it is a 10-10 ballgame.”

Here’s another quote that might apply in this situation: “If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we’d all have a merry Christmas.”
